Chapter 190: The Restaurant Sells Fish
However, the first time I fished, I encountered such a huge marlin, although the two brothers were very tired, but they were still unsatisfied.
But Zhang Zedu said that he went back to rest, and it was not good for them to continue.
After packing up the fishing tackle, Lin Hu turned his head and saw the longline full of bait, and suddenly asked curiously: "Aze, haven't you used these longlines, why don't you use them?" ”
"I'm here today to catch fish, and I'll go to another place in the afternoon when I wake up," Zhang Ze, who was explaining, suddenly paused.
He found that he didn't seem to need to go to Dongsha to lay the longline today!
The food on the ship is not enough for them to eat for a day, so instead of saving, it is better to put the longline in the morning and collect it in the afternoon and go home directly
The fish mouth is good in the morning, and it will not be too late to go back after receiving the longline in the afternoon, and it will only take two hours to go back at most, and there will be time to arrange the two brothers of Dragon and Tiger at that time.
So he immediately changed his mind: "Wait, it doesn't feel necessary to go to Dongsha to release the longline in the afternoon, and it will be fine next time." ”
"So, when I start the boat, you can help put the longline down."
With that, Zhang Ze came to the stern of the boat and taught the two how to use the winch and how to put the longline down.
When they had all learned, he set sail to find suitable waters for longlining.
There are two brothers, and it is more convenient to put the longline, Zhang Ze did not deliberately look for any fishing spots, so he looked for three good locations nearby, put the longline down and went to prepare breakfast, and went back to take a bath and sleep after eating.
When he woke up again, it was already early twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ze hurriedly got up to prepare lunch, and then woke Lin Long and Lin Hu up.
After eating, they began to reel in the longline.
Because there were two people by his side, Zhang Ze couldn't put the fish into the space as soon as possible.
So he showed them how to harvest the fish, and he gave it to them.
Lin Long assisted the winch to pull the line, and Lin Hu put on gloves and held scissors to help untie the fish hook.
Some fish eat hooks that are too deep, so they cut the line directly.
Zhang Ze is responsible for sending the fish to the live water tank or the cold storage tank, so that there is time to gain experience points.
At half past two in the afternoon, he started the fishing boat and headed back.
At around half past four, the Duoyu entered the tributary of the Pearl River and followed the tributary to Lianhuashan Fishing Village.
Soon after arriving at the dock, Jin Guangcheng came to Zhang Ze's ship with a smile on his face.
When he saw the two unfamiliar faces on the ship, he was stunned: "Aze, who are they?" ”
"I have distant relatives, and there was an accident at home, so I took them over." Speaking of outsiders, Zhang Ze and the Dragon and Tiger brothers have communicated well.
If the village knew that they had specially recruited workers to help, it is estimated that many people in the village would find a way to stuff people into him.
If you say it's a relative, then there's no problem, and it's quite common for relatives to defect.
"I see!" Jin Guangcheng took the initiative to shake hands with the two brothers and get to know each other.
Then he went to check Zhang Ze's harvest this time, and first went to see the living water tank, and the fish in it made him smile immediately.
Every time he came over, he could have a surprise, and he found the energetic Imperial Star spot inside at a glance.
This alone can be sold for dozens of dollars in the market, and he may not be able to make a dozen yuan.
What's more, there are some other groupers and a large number of reef fish, which are relatively valuable fish.
After looking at the living water tank, I went to see the refrigerated tank, which is also the focus, but the first few harvests are still more in the living water tank.
However, as soon as he opened the refrigerated cabin today, Jin Guangcheng immediately burst into a foul mouth: "I lost it, what is this?" ”
"A large marlin, estimated to weigh seven or eight hundred catties, the three of us fished it from night until the early hours of the morning before we got it." Zhang Ze was sneering, the habit of showing off the fishing guy can't be changed!
"Hiss ~ seven or eight hundred pounds!" Jin Guangcheng's expression was shocked, he had lived in a fishing village since he was a child, but it was the first time he had seen such a big fish.
He has seen marlin, but they are relatively small, more than 200 catties are already very large, and the aquatic station here is a pound for a dollar.
So this marlin is worth at least seven or eight hundred yuan!
"I'm kind of open to the eye today, it's the first time I've seen such a big marlin." Jin Guangcheng was impressed, but he thought about what price he should offer to collect this fish.
Zhang Ze knew what he was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile: "Don't think about this fish, my relative has a very good friend who runs a restaurant in the city, and I will definitely send this fish over there." ”
"Don't, Aze, how about I pay you a high price for this fish?" Jin Guangcheng was immediately anxious when he heard this, if this fish was operated well, he would at least be able to earn a hundred yuan, which was not a small amount of money.
But Zhang Ze still shook his head and refused: "No matter how high your price is, can it be as high as the market price?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Jin Guangcheng was suddenly dumbfounded.
Market price, how is it possible. If he really wants to get to this price, then what else can he earn?
The price of marlin, small swordfish and swordfish is not too high, so it does not have a high tolerance rate like large groupers.
Like the dragon grouper, even if the market price is closed, he still has a way to make a lot of difference.
But even if the marlin is big, it doesn't have much to do.
However, the next moment, he felt a sigh in his heart, if Zhang Ze's relatives and friends opened a restaurant in the city, then he would not be able to collect all the fish on his side in the future?
That's a big loss!
It's a pity that the result was the same as he thought, the imperial star spot that he liked at a glance, Zhang Ze didn't sell it to him.
Not only that, he didn't receive any of the rare and precious fish on the boat, and could only receive some ordinary catches.
The only thing that comforted him was that Zhang Ze, an ordinary grouper, was finally sold to him.
Even if these other parties don't sell him, he can't do anything, ordinary fishermen can be properly handled, but when Zhang Ze first moved in, there were many big shots, so they were the ones who were not easy to provoke in the eyes of the villagers.
Zhang Ze sold ordinary grouper to Jin Guangcheng, but he didn't deliberately woo him, so that he would continue to sell fish to him in the future.
The main reason is that the purchase price of ordinary grouper in the restaurant is not high, and the market price over there is some rare and rare seafood, so why should he waste his time and send the fish over.
Who knows if there will be fish that will fall asleep along the way, and the loss will be his own money.
Jin Guangcheng led people to start weighing and collecting the fish, and Zhang Ze and Lin Long began to use a winch to pull the marlin out of the refrigerated cabin.
It's easy to put it in, but it's really difficult to pull it out, but fortunately, he was specially equipped with a crane, and the fish is still easy to pull up when the manpower is just assisted, otherwise the fish will not be put in the refrigerated cabin.
Pull the fish out and put it on deck, then take a large amount of ice from the cold compartment and set it aside, and it will be used later.
Zhang Ze drove the boat to dock first, originally the Duoyu could not dock, but this would be just at high tide, and the water near an area of the pier was relatively deep, and the Duoyu could dock temporarily.
Once the fish have landed, they must be driven back to deep water to avoid running aground when the water level drops.
Park the boat, let Lin Long and the others watch the boat, and go ashore to borrow the tractor by themselves.
He had to get the fish to the city as soon as possible, and there were no trucks in the village, only tractors and ox carts.
I was given five dollars for a trip, and the tractor driver immediately agreed.
Usually when he goes to the city, he will also take some people to earn some money for the ticket, but he can't earn so much, at most more than two yuan a day.
Usually when he goes to the city, he will also take some people to earn some money for the ticket, but he can't earn so much, at most more than two yuan a day.
Zhang Ze gave five yuan, which actually included his round-trip fare.
After getting the delivery car, Zhang Ze returned home and explained the situation to his family, and told them not to wait for their own dinner at night, and then returned to the dock.
As soon as he returned to the dock, he found that the side of the Duo Fish was already full of people, and there were many villagers on board.
"Everybody, let me go up"
Zhang Ze knew that the villagers came to see the fish and watch the excitement, and it was not easy to drive them away, so he could only forcibly squeeze inside.
"I'm lost, Aze, you're finally back. I was about to ask, where did you get such a big marlin? ”
"I heard Jin Guangcheng say that the three of you took turns to catch this fish, and it took you three days to catch it?"
When Zhang Ze heard this, his head was full of black lines, and he had been fishing for three days, and it would only take two days for him to go to sea, and this was still the time to hurry.
Anyone who saw him along the way, people who were somewhat familiar with him surrounded him.
"Aze, where did you catch this fish, it can't be the open sea, right?"
"It's the first time I've seen such a big marlin. Tut-tut, that long beak, if you are accidentally poked, you are guaranteed to poke a pair of channels. ”
A group of people seemed to be asking Zhang Ze some questions, but they were actually discussing the marlin on the boat.
Zhang Zeyou met an acquaintance, so he replied simply, and he nodded politely and smiled at a stranger.
Fortunately, everyone was more cooperative, and when they saw the owner of the boat coming, they took the initiative to get out of the way and let him pass.
Soon, Zhang Ze returned to the ship.
After a while, the driver came with a tractor, he turned it upside down and parked it, and then took the initiative to get the fish down.
More than 700 catties of marlin, even if people in this era have the strength to work, but it is not so easy to lift.
The main fish is slippery and not easy to be forced.
Fortunately, the crane on the back deck could be extended, which could barely get the marlin to the shore, and with the help of a group of people, the fish still got to the tractor relatively easily.
But the body behind the tractor is relatively short, and two-thirds of the body of the marlin is directly outside when it is placed inside.
Zhang Ze could only find a large wooden board to put on the body of the car, and put the marlin fish diagonally on the board, and the long beak directly pushed up to the side position of the coachman, so he reluctantly put down the fish.
Then they brought the ice that had been prepared in advance from the boat and spread it on the fish.
After finishing it, Zhang Ze asked the coachman to drive to the city first, and he went back to ride a motorcycle, brought the small amount of fish left on the boat that was not sold, and then drove the two brothers to the city with the tractor.
The tractor was slow, and he managed to catch up with his motorcycle in a short time, and then slowly followed.
Lin Long and Lin Hu were all relatively quiet, and they didn't speak all the way while sitting behind him.
However, when they arrived in the city, the big fish on the tractor once again attracted the onlookers of passers-by.
The eyes of the people who saw it on the side of the street widened suddenly, and a man seemed to have seen a beautiful woman, and he hit the railing in front of him with a bang, and squatted down in pain and rubbed the painful place.
"What a big fish!"
"What kind of fish is this, that nose is so long!"
"I'll push your lungs, you kid look at the point, you hit me, do you know?"
"It's not big brother, that fish is so big!"
"Lao Tzu is also big, do you want to take it off to show you."
There are all kinds of strange paintings on the road, and in general, all the passers-by who saw it were shocked by this marlin.
Fortunately, few people came around to watch, and they didn't cause any trouble.
When I came to the hotel, it was already completely dark, and the appearance of a super-large marlin naturally attracted the attention of the people in the restaurant.
When the person in charge came out and saw Zhang Ze, his expression suddenly dawned and he knew what was going on.
Then the price was negotiated, the fish was preserved and fresh, and after bloodletting, it was finally sold for 1,500 yuan, and the unit price was almost two yuan a catty.
The rest of the rare seafood also sold for more than 600 pieces.
This trip exceeded 2,000 yuan, and it was not in vain that Zhang Ze came over to sell fish.
After selling the fish, he briefly introduced Lin Long and Lin Hu to the person in charge of the acquisition of the restaurant, and he will take the two of them with him to sell fish temporarily, and after they are familiar with the process, the matter of selling fish will be handed over to them to do.
After selling the fish, Zhang Ze directly asked the restaurant to entertain a table of good dishes, and solved the dinner here.
The restaurant he chose to cooperate with has a very good business and tastes very good, but it is a little expensive, and the amount of dishes is not very much.
The three of them all have big appetites, and they don't order any special dishes and the price is particularly high for a meal, but even if they eat for a hundred yuan, it can only be said that this place is not something that ordinary people can afford to consume at all.
After eating about the same, Zhang Ze took out ten big black ten and handed them to Lin Long.
He looked stunned and didn't pick it up: "Aze, who are you?" ”
"It's your commission for helping me catch marlin, and some other fish."
"I can't help it, those are what we should do, and you brought us here to eat, we can't ask for this money!"
"Take it, the daily expenses in the village also cost money. There are no daily necessities or anything like that in the place I arranged for you, you all need to prepare them yourself, and you still have money on yourself? ”
"This"
Lin Long looked at Lin Hu and hesitated.
They really had no money on them, they weren't rich in the first place, and after paying for the tickets for the two, the last bit of money on them was almost emptied.
If they don't take this money, their next days on the fishing boat will be really a problem, and they can't just let the boss pay them before they start working!
Zhang Ze smiled when he saw this, and put the money directly in his hand.
"There are rules for going to sea, and the boatman fishing itself is to give a commission. That marlin sold for a thousand and a half, and the two of you do have a commission of almost a hundred. ”
"Since you have given me a job, although I have arranged something else, I will still give it what should be given."
Comparing his heart to his heart, Zhang Ze is good to the two brothers, Lin Long and Lin Hu, and they will naturally remember his kindness.
As for the white-eyed wolf, it is not nothing, but the white-eyed wolf will not help when others want to hijack the ship, but will join forces to seize the ship together.
